Potting Shed BM Sapphire is a stunning white doe with reddish brown markings and brown eyes. We are very happy to have her in our herd!

Sapphire comes from amazing show and production lines. On the maternal side, many of Sapphire’s half sisters have done well in the show ring as well. Sapphire’s grand-dam, Potting Shed FG Maxie, is part of Potting Shed's foundation herd. She was shown twice in 2016, both times winning 1st place, and once best udder. This year, she won 1st place and the Grand Champion award at the June 2017 East National Show. She also won 1st place and best udder in her age group at the November 2017 Royal Fair. Maxie is one of their top milk producers. As a 3 year old, Maxie produced 6.8lbs of milk at her peak, and was producing 4lbs of milk 13 months into her lactation! Her offspring also produce a lot of milk, as well as having long lactations. This is certainly the case with Sapphire's dam, Potting Shed LH Dorothy Mae, since she fed quadruplets until over 5 months old, and once we brought home Sapphire, she continued feeding her 3 other doelings until over 9 months old! Dorothy Mae hasn’t yet been shown, however in 2017 she got a linear appraisal (LA) score of Very Good 84 (the maximum at her age was Very Good 89 - the scores often increase after a few freshenings), even though her udder wasn't as full since she was still nursing her 4 four month old doelings! Sapphire’s grand-dam Maxie received Excellent 91 at 4.5 years old. Sapphire’s maternal aunt, Potting Shed AYI Brooklin sold for $2,150 as a doeling at the 2017 Elite Dairy Goat auction! Sapphire's great grand-sire, Kaapio Acres LS Fireglow, was classified as Excellent 94, and incredible score since in the US, this is the maximum score possible! Her great grand-dam, Fairlea Marguerite 4*M was classified at EEEE91.

Sapphire's sire is Dragonfly SM Birdman, a US imported buck from wonderful bloodlines. The Dragonfly herd name is well known, both in the United States and Canada, for the high producing and great conformation goats that they produce. Dragonfly SM Birdman won Grand Champion and earned a full leg towards his permanent championship at the 2018 Central Ontario Buck Show. His twin brother was classified at Excellent 90! Birdman’s daughters do well in the show ring. Two of Sapphire’s quadruplet sisters won 1st and 2nd place in their age groups at the Winter Royal Agricultural Fair in 2017. His dam, SM3Pines Juren’s Snowbird, out of a *M doe, has earned a Superior Genetics designation, which means that she is in the top 15% of this breed and was classified at VEEV 90. Two of her daughters have also earned the Superior Genetic designation and milk stars (Sapphire's aunts). Although Snowbird was not shown, her twin sister, SM3Pines Juren’s Sugar Glider, won at least 6 Grand Champion awards, 4 Reserved Grand Champion awards, and 2 Best Udder awards. She also has a 2*M milk star and was appraised at VEEE 90. She also has a Superior Genetics award and is a Permanent Grand Champion. Dragonfly SM Birdman’s triplet sister was also evaluated at VVEE 89 as a 3 year old and won a Grand Champion award in the show ring. Both of his grand-dams have milk stars, including one who is also a Permanent Grand Champion, and his grand-sire has many show ring wins.
